Holy crap, Yuzuru confirmed he wants to do quad Axel.
Did he say that? The translator did not mentioned it. Was it untranslated in Yuzu's Japanese?

Yuzu is a fervent fan of excellence in figure skating. Patricks Skating Skills, Boyangs Quad lutz, Jason's artistry. He's said again and again how much they inspire him in many interviews over the seasons.

It was mentioned by other skaters and FS insiders who said they've seen him do it at TCC

That Jason was able to put himself in a good position without a quad, which proves that jump quality is really important. Each one needs to think of what's the best performance one can do and constrain the risk of injury.What did he say about Jason
Btw, the Chinese interpreter is not up to par and I'm sure some of what Boyang said was lost in translation.

he talked about but we already know. He's tried it, it has been rotated and landed. Now while that sounds wow, competition is a whole different ball game. I think the 4Lz is for next season and after that, he may play.

We need some Chinese people here who knew the nuance of mandarin words to translate Boyang's answers. Thank you.
I seen that video, the 4A, it was like an exhibition or something because there were many people around.

since I watched all final group and almost all skaters from pre-final one, I will post my impression being fresh and boy - WHAT A COMPETITION IT WAS!!!!! And totally aside from quads amount, crazy layouts and drama of all that - the most exciting thing was that everyone in the very top fought and fought hard for getting the best out of them. Regarding final group I am so happy that apart from Javier's meltdown and other issues, every skater shown a different kind of brand/signature for himself, it was just plain freaking great to see a quality performance one after one, so distinct in styles, saying all about skater doing it.
Jason really proved his worth as a skater, performer and competitor. Apart from doing his job regarding spots for Olympics - facing not only 'big hitters', quad masters and heavy favourites, but also skaters looking 'better on paper' with their chances for placements than him - he won big time by pushing himself with all the best he currently had, despite all hate, all talk and wishes of many who eagerly get rid of him from the sport at all. To stand up proudly for himself, with positive, respetful and conscious attitude towards all that is truly an achievemnt bu itself, let alone to step on ice and produce a piece of magic like he did today. There went my first tears this afternoon (and there were MANY) - the magnetic pull of the story told, the storytelling ability of Jason were huge - he really uses his body, all of it, expression, music and his skills to blend all of it together into something moving. And what about that versatility - he rocked the crowd with 'Riverdance' or Prince previously, emoting so much sass and power and the impact was equally strong (if not stronger!) today while performing to 'The Piano' OST. For me, he really transported the harmony of the music, lyric character into his movement: it was so crisp and well-finished, perfectly for accentuation of the piano. As the music was developing and as this piano told the silent story about emotions and feeligs which could not be expressed by words, Jason also spoke to me without using them. To own the skill, abilities, musicality, interpretation values the confident, sure way Jason does - being totally aware where he stands looking at the field - for me is the most important thing I took from today's performance. It takes a lot of character, persistence and attitude - aside of skills acquired - to stand tall and proud and to produce a performance with quality and impact surpassing people's doubts and disbelief.
I have to say that Yuzuru was not the most impactful performance for me, but a sheer force of poise and determination oozing from it, creating almost physical pull to me were the strongest without a doubt, leaving even all those scores. For me, he proved once again that he's currently the most complex skater, embodying the beauty and the power of the sport at the same time. There goes that confident balance with his skating, like today - there is no speedy race between movement, technique, performance and interpretation/feeling the music, it all flows, powered by dedication he represents every time stepping on ice. The thing which appeared today (as always for Yuzuru) and which I value a lot is that regardless of material and issues encoutered, he always performs to the people - reaching deeply with his open hands, like in the last pose. And what a great thing was to see those slow-motion repeat with close shots of his face during the program - that gentle smile, almost 'caressing', consoling and assuring about story, about performance continuity. As always - dazzled by his musicality in all non-jumping elements, unique and so-Yuzuru Biellmann spin, that jump right after first step sequence, like a strong, but feathery finish...And I think that the story, the music, this 'Hope and Legacy' name of the program really got a meaning and understanding today, looking at Yuzuru - he represented both hope and legacy there, uniting them both in one moment, seizing it and giving to us, but also to himself. I do think that after the performance he realized that apart from stellar skate and great performance he truly gave himself a gift - a rare gift of satisfaction and pride, made from so much difficulty and effort. A true spirit of competitor to raise and not fall, only going up.
And Nathan going after that magnitude of basically everything: Yuzuru's skate, crowd's reaction, crazy score was just tough, especially for a newcomer positioned for attack after SP, so young and yet not so experienced on international scene. It really sucks to say that without jumps done right the program really loses its pull and impact, as those quads are focus points and attention-seekers, keeping that 'big' impression over Nathan. But saying that and being sorry to see him falling quite painfully for my eye, I think that he did put a good, even fight with his nerves, pressure (I think mostly self-imposed, as a perfectionist he is) and issues during skate and by that he 'won' himself a lot of experience and learning curve to go forward. Looking at the level of this competition, I can only salute that he still was able to pull out top 6 finish and making an impact, jusy maybe not that big as at 4CC. And looking at his very first full, senior season, with all he's been through before it and to make that kind of 'entrance' is nothing but remarkable and admiring.
And while Nathan was definitely at disadvantage going right after Yuzuru, Boyang had the best position imaginable for me to strike, bite and take what is now his - a second World medal, denied for him by almost everyone. His performance was probably the most 'uplifting' and inspiring for me and hence why - he really went a long road this season, being criticized, often belittled and while this happened, he just worked hard, pushing through all odds met and at the end he was able to prove himself and all people how much it takes to break his spirit. A true warrior and competitor, doing his job and not afraid to reach for things reserved for someone else, with his smile and showmanship attitude. This program, like SP two days ago showed his best qualities and an enormous potential of a superb performer, and with his tech skill up to par, executed confidently it made an impact. Yes, he still lacks in skating skills, flow and overall polish over performance, but he developed by strides since last season and has huge grit and competitive poise, see his two World medals as a proof (especially considering today's level of performances). I have to say that his charisma, infectious smile and those legendary loved/hated 'Boyang shimmies' carried and elevated his performance in a big way. As 'La Strada' was a memory for me of one and only Dasuke Takahashi, from now there will be another memory associated with it as for Boyang and his pure joy in it.
Patrick's skate again was probably the most moving for me, considering him going from medal position, knowing the program and th way he will do it. And he did this again to me - making magic from simplicity and minimalism, from his body work within music, not aside of it nor on top of it. There is something special about the way he leads his performances, not even talking about his superb skill and quality - there's just a feel of grace and purity watching him, because he truly creates artistic impression by blending music, movement and expression. It was just so exquisite to see how program unfolds, like delicate ribbon, with all these emotions, moves, gestures, pauses and motion, everything amped by Patrick's innate lyrical maestry towards music, movement and skating in general. I think that from technical side he put a great fight too, love his secong 3A and opening combo with monster 4S solo. Once again he mastered and commanded the crowd using his body as a finest insrument and making his performance a beautiful symphony. For me, with Patrick the more minimalistic he gets, the more he shines on his own.
And the performance of the day, the most impact made on me was Shoma, probably the most tears flown from my side...It is truly unique to transform this relatively small frame into something so big, so prominent and rich it's hard to believe in it, and Shoma did it today ultimately. There was just pure force, push and attack from the very first pose with that daring stare and he never stopped. Yes - it is my favourite FS this season, but today Shoma really surpassed the program itself in every sense - by vivid interpretation, sharp skill and raw emotion expressed. His musicality is insane and the way he treats the music, command it, molding it into his skating, but at the same time molding himself into its feel. This opening sequence with so on point feet accentuation of rhythm - insane, step sequences - so amazing due to varying speed and intensity of movement in such with the music, spins (particularly the last one - an integral part of picture created, never just 'an accessory' to jumps. What striked me today the most - aside of overall plish and intensity over elements, performance as a whole - was his ability to create 'a space' within the skate, this feeling of freedom and abandon, despite layout to execute and all rules to follow. And this 'space' so matched the drama, 'loco' feel of the music, lady voice, the endng sequence was just beyond epic with lady screaming 'todo el mundo', 'loco el, loco yo'. Because at the end he was already this 'Loco' hero of the song and we were this whole world crazed over him. Chapeaux bas, Shoma!

Nope, that's old and was <<
That is new and has nothing to do with what we are talking about. This is new, recent development, fully rotated, landed, at TCC. But again, I doubt very much it'll be something that shows up next season. 4Lz on the other hand, yes it will.
At least he knows (together with the Australian judge) enough about figure skating to understand that Brown was not better than Jin in PCS
